time for a new engine?

[craig0120]

after driving around last night i pulled out of a junction, put my foot down a bit and all of a sudden the car lost power and made a weird tapping noise.
the engines a 14nv , just wondered if anyone on here had experianced this problem before?
now it wont even tickover but jsut after it happened it was only running on 3
ill take the rocker cover off tomorrow and see if i can see any damage
cheers

Hope its not too bad mate when you open it up.

Probert is selling a 14NV in the parts section, or you could upgrade to a 1.6 as its the perfect excuse :).

[nova~norm]

well i could sell u the engine mate yeh sum if it would b diffrent pm me

[craig0120]

ill see what i need to fix this, if its too much ill think about the xe.
iv just checked the engine again and its not rifing on number 3 or 4 but there is a spark.
when driving it sounds as iv theres something rattling around so im going to take the head off and see what i find

[craig0120]

update:
the heads off and the gaskets gone between number 3 and 4.
its gone pretty bad and also meled the head where the gasket blew, it looks like its gone too bad to be skimmed so im going to get a new head.
which head would be best 1.3sr? sri? also ill be fitting t40s so which manifold would i need if i had the sri head?
cheers

[Welsh Dan]

The sri head would be the best head to fit, which ever manifold has the right shaped holes, I cant help you more than that sorry.

[craig0120]

heres my headgasket, the head has melted where the gasket blew aswell
